Описание: Arguing that we only have democracy when systems of power are held to account, Kaufman examines the real work being done to challenge the operations of power that underlie four unruly social problems: climate change, sweatshop labour, police abuse, and economic deprivation. In Accountability Democracy, Kaufman pairs each of these issues with an operation of power -- the large scale influence of multinational corporations; the power of governments; the authority of financial markets; and the control inherent in systems of meaning -- and using case studies like the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh and the killing of Eric Garner, forcefully demonstrates the difficulty in challenging this nexus of power.Yet, advancing a positive message, Kaufman maintains that this network is not omnipotent and can be questioned if we develop ‘mechanisms of accountability’ which allow us to conceptualise the nature of these restrictions and the action required to resist them. Kaufman provides then, a model for ethical living that allows us to investigate and appreciate our own connection to the powerful forces that control our world.

Описание: Childhood isn't easy when you're feeling sad and different. This little girl knows something's not quite right: she's having trouble sleeping, eating, and concentrating. And she doesn't laugh the way her classmates do.
When she reaches out to a trusted teacher, the little girl starts down a path of help and healing, beginning with identifying her blue moods as depression. A combination of talk therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes helps her leave her blues in yesterday and look forward to a brighter tomorrow.
Told with simple sentences and lush illustrations, Yesterday's Blue will be a valued resource for parents, teachers, and health professionals who work with kids dealing with depression, whether situational or systemic. And, critically, Yesterday's Blue will give kids a way to talk about their sad feelings and let them know they are not alone.
